Summary

The provider treats a fracture of the tibial shaft, which requires manipulation. A fibular fracture may or may not be present; if present, the provider does not treat it separately. The provider may or may not use skeletal traction. He performs the procedure to keep the fracture in alignment and prevent displacement while the fracture heals and to relieve pain.
